March 7, 2017: Jesse Esphorst died in a car accident right after his game the other day. The game before he died he had hit 2 home runs and he was a shortstop. Hundreds of people had gathered Wednesday to mourn the death of a star 16 year old South High shortstop.

It was sad that he pastbecause his friends were drunk. The weird thing is the night before when two cars were involved in a earlier crash were someone ran a red light and crashed into the van that his father was driving in Torrance. Police had arrested one of the drivers for vehicle manslaughter, and are seeking the other person for abandoning.. Jesse was being scouted by College baseball teams and maybe might havebeen scouted by MLB too.

Late before the car accident. Jesse hit a two-run home run for the Spartans in their game at Hawthorne High School. The team won 13-3. They had mercied the other team. The Mery rule is when you’re beating a team 10 points ahead, like 13-3. Before his death my uncle was scouting some high school kids all around the world. Then my uncle told me that he had been to Jesse’s game. But he wasn’t their to scout other players he had gone to Torrance to scout Jesse. Someone told my uncle to scout Jesse because he had a lot of talent and skill.
